October baseball is within reach on the North Side.

The Chicago Cubs have put together one of the National League’s strongest seasons, entering the stretch run with 81 wins and firmly in the Wild Card race.

With a deep lineup, strong run production and Wrigley Field ready for another postseason atmosphere, Chicago is looking to turn a great regular season into an October run.

How far can the Cubs go this postseason?

Deuce Alexander made a statement to open the season.

The Ole Miss wide receiver exploded for a career-high 159 receiving yards and two touchdowns on just five catches in the Rebels’ 41-38 win over No. 24 Louisville.

Both touchdowns went for 62 yards, helping Alexander earn SEC Co-Offensive Player of the Week honors after one of the biggest performances of opening weekend.

The expectations are sky-high in Philadelphia.

After reaching the Eastern Conference semifinals last season, the 76ers enter 2026-27 with a completely reloaded roster. Philadelphia added LeBron James and Jaylen Brown to a core featuring Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and rising star VJ Edgecombe, giving the Sixers one of the most star-studded lineups in basketball.

With this much talent in Philly, anything short of a deep playoff run will feel like unfinished business.

Is this the year the 76ers finally make their run to the NBA Finals?
